Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Big Bums Win Scrums (ft. Julián Montoya)
Q: Why does the bench start with a hooker at 16 instead of a loose head?
It stems from historical context when there was only one prop on the bench, making it logical to have the hooker at 16.

Q: What's the secret to a strong scrum?
A good tight head and the way to coordinate the play with all eight players; syncing together is crucial for success.
